Any concrete slab or prepared stone slab will crack on clay, you need at least 3" of concrete beneath it. If and when you get round to the walling and path, dm me your number and I'll tell you exactly how to do it, it only appears to be a small area and well within DIY boundaries.

Tx!

I had a look at Tobermore bricks for a raised bed. By the time I counted up the bricks I was at £1200 😳 (that's for the whole area near fence)

Of course the drainage underneath the sitting area tiles is also not well done. Sigh.

It's going to be A Job :)

You can pretty much halve the number of bricks by using 4" blocks at the rear (about £2 each, 1 block = 6 bricks) and brick the front and top, see below.

Blocks.
